I've acquired a vintage 14k Longines Automatic that belonged to my best friends father. as a result I have spent hours
trying to find one on the website. The closest I can get is that it is called the 'anniversary model' and has a bulls eye dial. On the back outside cover, one side says 'automatic' and on the opposite end it says '14k Gold A&K'. So do I have it serviced and reconditioned? Put it on for one day, runs perfect.Thanks for you thoughts

 

The watch is likely real however the dial has been refinished. This significantly decreases the value. An original example can be seen here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/post-your-longineseses.472/page-9#post-323376

 

Popped off the back. It's a 1950 17 jewel 22A caliber

 

One owner does not make the dial original. This refinishing job is not a particularly good one. Notice how the original dial has a mirror-like finish on the portion where the hour markers are. Also notice how the printed, inner circle on the refinished dial encroaches on the sub-dial. There are more issues as well...

(For clarity, the above is in response to a post that has subsequently been deleted.)
